14. shortly I must put off — Greek, "the putting off (as a garment) of my tabernacle is speedy": implying a soon approaching, and also a sudden death (as a violent death is). Christ's words, John 21:18 ; John 21:19 , "When thou art old," &c., were the ground of his "knowing," now that he was old, that his foretold martyrdom was near. Compare as to Paul, 2 Timothy 4:6 . Though a violent death, he calls it a "departure" ( Greek for "decease," 2 Peter 1:15 ), compare Acts 7:60 . return to ' Top of Page ' <a name="verse-15" class="com-number"
